As the others have said, Catherine’s always looked like that. Not “busty” compared to someone like Monica or Astali, but very nicely packaged nonetheless. Rei could afford an archive-dive to the last time Catherine wore a bikini to the beach.

I really don’t think she’s lusting after her (adoptive)mother….I have to say I am a little surprised at that assumption. I think it’s simply a look of surprise, after all, when you are a teen, being home alone with no parental supervision is kind of a big deal!

You forget that prior to meeting atsali and adopting both her and pickle, Catherine used to go home and walk around nude while talking to her goldfish. A bikini is infinitely more clothing, so I don’t think she’s got any problem with that. Plus her time after said story arc has made her quite a bit more confident in herself in general.

Katherine won’t have to go through customs. And if she wants to bring home some Madagascar liquor–do they make liquor in Madagascar?–no one can stop her. Think of what a smuggler she could be. Diamonds, high end drugs, cash curency, even people. She could be incredibly rich. At least until Phix said. “Hell, no!”
